some kinda way
Over and over, some kinda way
GenZ says Be Real with me.
Are you real? everything in cyberwebs;
My son says get a VPN
I work with numbers and words.
I thought I would work with music and people.
We all work remote, now,
Chattering away in zooms and video meets.
I AM NOT A CAT!!
ChatGPT and AI can do the numbers,
Can write the stories, send the emails.
Why do I work with numbers and words
A computer could do as well as me.
Older and older, some kinda way.
Less and less real.
Did we go to the moon that one time?
Or was that too, a joke?
The memories of people touching people.
Now we pay to have someone touch,
a high price plus a tip.
Doctors see you through the zoom;
They cannot see the sick.
I feel some kinda way about all this,
a voice shouting into a void
of TikToks, Shapchats, Instagrams, WhatsApps,
Be Real, someone just be real.
